SIMMS A REVELATION. April 20.—The Standard, reviewing the Newmarket race meeting, regarding riding: 1 Simms has successfully fought out a hard finish with one of the best English jockeys, critics here will con- tinue to believe that the American seat and system cannot be commended on long courses, The weakness of Simms's plan will probably soon be apparent, Besides the inelegance of the American seat, it is certain that the jockey can- not fully control his mount, When thus handled, every horse will surely swerve, ude Gallie did on Tuesday, though, it should be added, Simms straightened him cleverly enough. The Field expresses the opinicn that Eau de Gallte will prove a thorn tn the side of some ®f the British three-year- olds, Stonenell, it says, will have to come on @ good bit to win the Kempton Park and Jubilee Stakes. Sporting Life says it hears that the owner of Eau de Gallie is #0 pleased with the turf conditions here that he Intends to have eighteen yearlings England in the, Pall. The: paper ad that this emphasizes the folly of a sec- meddling with racing and betting, which will drive good) money and the best American horseflesh to these shores The Sportsman suggests that. Britons will have to modify thetr opinion in Tegard to clocking. It says: “All the stupidity of waiting behind, whether the pace [s bad or good, mus' be ended as surely as a jockey appears n the xcene who understands how to te true to time, Tt is no exaggeration to say that not only American Jockeys, but American stable boys, can ride true. ‘Tam as firmly convinced as ever that Simms has an immense lot to learn, but whenever he rides with a winnin) chance he will do our Jockeys a lot o good In sharpening them up."
